Trailer Breakdown - The Hunger Games

Following Monday's release of the first full Hunger Games trailer there was quite a buzz on the internet surrounding this book to film adaptation. 
In case you missed any notable pieces of the trailer check out our breakdown of the best bits.

Meet Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Gale (Liam Hemsworth), best friends in District 12, who are about to experience an event to change their relationship forever. The Hunger Games are set to begin.

About to announce the participants of the next annual Hunger Games Effie Trinkett (Elizabeth Banks) hits the microphone to seal the fates of 2 individuals from each of the 12 districts.

On the announcement of Katniss' sister Primrose being selected for the Games her older sister refuses to let her compete and announces herself as a Tribute, and replaces her sister as a competitor in the fight to the death. 

With all the competitors picked for the Games they are then whisked off to be made up for the big event. The man tasked for transforming Katniss is Cinna (Lenny Kravitz), a man determined to get Katniss noticed when each individual is shown off to the district-wide crowd.

Also, offering a word of advise to our Katniss, is a quick glimpse of the 50th winner of The Hunger Games Haymitch Abernathy. He also represented District 12 in the tournament. 

Despite having a tough time ahead Katniss is a skilled archer, following her hunting expeditions in the forests with Gale. She will certainly be a formidable force if she can get her hands on her weapon of choice.

Katniss and fellow Distrcit 12 participant Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) ponder life before they prepare to enter into battle. A relationship that progresses as the film plays out...

As the clock counts down to zero...


LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!
